Karpovage spent three years researching and detailing his map before publishing it in August 2012. The CaGIS map competition saw map designs from all over the United States and Canada.

A copy of the map will be sent to the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., for cataloging. Copies are available at stores in the historic district.
